FrameMaker comes loaded with tools that most users never even see. With over three decades experience in using FrameMaker and never taking "no" for an answer when asking "Can I do this with FrameMaker?", I have created tons of solutions for real-life authoring problems that usually surprise even the development team of this amazing product. Using all my knowledge, experience and imagination has allowed me to create solutions to many problems, both in authoring and delivery of FrameMaker-based content, both structured and unstructured.

This workshop shows how to use the full potential of this exceptional authoring environment. Do bring your own problems and see how easy solutions can be created. The workshop is completely driven by your problems and has proven to be quite effective in finding instant solutions in the past. Come and learn from the one and only Frame Tamer.

Takeaways

Discovering hidden gems in FrameMaker.

Learning how to solve various kinds of authoring issues.

Returning home with time-saving solutions to your own problems.

Prior knowledge

Using FrameMaker - bringing actual productivity or layout problems.

Biography

After studying Physics (3 years), Psychology (7 years) and Philosophy (3 years), Jang embarked on a fast-track career in the international domain of Parallel Computing (which was quite new back in 1986). He has created countless technical manuals, training courses and presentations about a wide variety of topics in various industries (supercomputers, image recognition, steel and paper industry, manufacturing, software development).

In 1994, he started his own single-person consulting company IF UnLtd, currently acting under the name Smart Information Design. After writing manuals for a decade, Jang taught himself programming to make his work as technical author easier and more efficient. He will learn to use any language that is required to make a solution work. His most important asset is his imagination, which allows him to create solutions that radically optimise the work of a technical author. Since almost 2 decades, he has specialised in creating tools for technical authors, mostly based on DITA and often Adobe FrameMaker. He is currently working on the Smart Suite, a revolutionary component content management system, which incorporates all his visionary ideas from the past decades.
